Thoughtful Gifts for the Plant-Obsessed

For the vegetarian on your shopping list, consider the Organic 6-Pack Bundle of dried beans available for $59 at Bean Story. This selection offers a nutritious and eco-friendly gift option.

Last year, Margot highlighted the aesthetic appeal of porcelain stem candle holders, which are ideal companions for fresh produce. Each Porcelain Stem comes with eight celebration candles, priced at £35 at Wax Atelier.

If you’re looking for practical gardening tools, the hand rake by Sophie Conran is a beautiful choice at $36 from Flora Animalia, combining functionality with elegance.

Arborists often collaborate with local woodworker Luke Garrison to transform felled trees into remarkable home decor. Kier praises his craftsmanship, stating, “I have a fantastic tray of his. He is talented, local, and very kind.” To explore his creations, visit here.

While researching for an upcoming post on indoor bowl plantings, Clare discovered the delightful Round Inlay Chequered Planter from Tooka, available for $173, which adds a playful touch to any indoor space.

For those hot days spent outdoors, Margot recommends this stylish Spruce Jigsaw Bandana by Block Shop, priced at $35. She loves wearing it around her neck while gardening or walking in hot weather.

Melissa is excited about the collaboration between Perfect Earth and Lingua Franca, featuring a series of cashmere sweaters adorned with eco-friendly messages. These sweaters, retailing at $380, support sustainability initiatives, with 10% of the profits going to Perfect Earth.

Support Environmental Nonprofits This Season

As you embark on your holiday shopping, consider also supporting nonprofit organizations dedicated to environmental conservation. Kendra Wilson recommends the following groups:

• Audubon Lights Out Program: This program advocates for reducing nighttime lighting to protect birds, bats, and insects.
• Green City Force: Focused on training young people in New York City for careers in green infrastructure.
• Buglife (UK): A conservation organization committed to protecting arthropods.
• Homegrown National Park: Works to enhance biodiversity at the grassroots level.

Explore these suggestions and consider contributing to both your loved ones and the planet this holiday season.
